Page 93 of Love Me Like You Do

She nodded. "That seems right. You can build a different relationship in the future. An ending followed by a new beginning. What about your name? Are you going to release as Jason Barnes?"

"Well, Clay almost had a heart attack when I said I wanted to use Jax," he said dryly. "So I agreed to be Jason in public, but in my personal life, I'm going to be Jax."

"I can't really think of you any other way." She gave him another kiss and said, "And I don't care what professional name you use. This is your time to shine. Show the world who you are."

"I will. But I don't think of this time as mine. I think of it as ours. And one day, I'm going to watch you walk down the aisle in a wedding dress."

"It won't be nearly as poofy as Emmalyn's," she said with a laugh. "Although that dress suits her very well, and she looks great in it."

"I don't care what you wear," he returned, smiling into her eyes. "In fact, I like you with nothing on."

"Hello?" Lexie's voice interrupted a conversation that was getting way too hot. "We're going to start the toasts," Lexie added. "If you two can join the rest of us."

"We're ready."

"One minute," Jax said, giving her another kiss. "Now we're ready."

Lexie laughed. "And to think it was only several weeks ago that you were moaning about being the last single girl. Doesn't look like that's going to be you after all."

"No, it doesn't," she agreed. "Now Ben is the one moaning."

"We'll have to find him someone."

"Someone good."

"I don't think Ben needs you two to matchmake," Jax said.

"We'll see." As Lexie moved ahead of them, she stopped Jax from following her.

"Everything okay?" he asked.

"In case I forget to tell you later, I've never been this happy, Jax."

"We're just getting started," he promised, stealing another kiss before they headed back to the reception.
